Olivia Touzet, energy specialist.
Natural Health Therapist.

As a child, I was curious about everything; nature has always been my home.

Doctor in health biology, teacher and researcher, I taught molecular and cellular biology, physiology and parasitology at the Medical School and theUniversity of Sciences of Montpellier (Hérault). At the same time, I worked in the field of drug research. These years in scientific research taught me rigor, allowed me to integrate the knowledge necessary to understand the functioning mechanisms of the body, pathologies and medications. I was able to see that several decades are necessary for the development and marketing of a drug. In addition to the more or less significant side effects of the latter, they often treat the consequences rather than the real causes. Treatments are standardized without taking into consideration the particularities of each person. My wish has always been to help heal others and faced with this reality, I decided to turn to other more holistic, more natural approaches. I now work asenergy specialist in Montpellier.

I needed to return to nature and indulge in my true passion, health through plants. So I resumed studies in phytotherapy, herbalism and alternative medicine at theIMDERPLAM plant school created by Madame Claudine Luu (Botanist and Doctor of Pharmacy) nearly Montpellier. During these three years at school, I also deepened my knowledge of aromatherapy, gemmotherapy, nutrition and Chinese medicine. The plant world is incredibly vast, generous and rich. It has so much to offer us: balance, joy, serenity and of course health, by considering the person as a whole and taking into account their unique character.

For my part, I am firmly convinced that the holistic or unconventional medicine can support us in all areas of our lives, on a physical, psychological and emotional level, and offer us personalized support that listens to ourselves and our true needs. Health is a balance, a state of harmony, and the world of plants supports us in achieving it.

I would add that we cannot heal the body without taking care of our mind and our emotions. Have you heard of the symbolism of “badly said”? Do not let shocks and emotions become encysted in the body which unbalance us and, in the long term, lead to the development of pathologies. Bach flowers and other floral elixirs can accompany us at each stage of our life (moving, change of job, pregnancy, menopause, bereavement, accident, adolescence, school difficulties, carrying out a project, etc.) and help us in our difficulties and limitations (management of anger, shyness, anxiety, OCD, phobias, lack of self-confidence, etc.).

Finally, I would like to talk to you about the alchemical work or the art of transmuting lead into gold. We imagine the alchemist at the back of his laboratory busy handling vials and crucible.

But what does he actually do? He transforms to become the best version of himself and matter is his witness. At each stage, it becomes less crude, it becomes more refined.

By becoming interested in alchemy, I met Patrick Burensteinas and the energetic care of the Frame which he himself developed. This treatment helps cleanse the body of anything that can disrupt the free circulation of energies. The beneficial effects of Trame have been confirmed by studies carried out in the United States and are currently reimbursed in this country as well as in Canada. This treatment provides a wonderful complement to herbal support. Together, these tools will work on several informational levels of being to return to balance and health.
